lall bell for assistance. The alarm
was not answered, becauae ,nambers
OF the lynching gang bad beon
placed at convenient spots along the
streets leading to the jail for the puposs
Of preventing any one from approaching,
When tho mob had finally succeeded in
forcing the locks OF the door bet cen them
and the cell Of the prisoner, they had no
difficulty in accomplishing the rest of
their work. One Of the lynchers pro-
duced q piece Of three.quarter inch hemp
rope. It was securely knotted around tho
neck OF their victim, and without giving
him an opportunity to remorstrate, was
led from the jail, the mob making their
exit as they had entered, through the
basement passage. Once in the garden of
the jail B!gus loudly proclaimed bis inno-

LONDON, Nov. A.-The claim Of Don
Carlos, that by his fathers death he be.
comes the legitimate King Of France,
seems to have no other foundation than q
deacent from one branch OF the Bourbon
family.
Juan Carlos Maria Isadore, second son
Of Don Carlos, OF Bourbon, Count OF
Molina, called Oharlea V. oil Spain, was
born May 10, 1922. His mother WIGS the
Princess Msria.Francoise d'Aes;se, daurh.
ter OF King John vi. Of Portugal. His
elder brother, Don Carlog, Count Of
Montemolin, trst cousin Of Queen Isabella
II. OF Spain, claimed the Spaniah Grown
So Carlos VI. on his fathers ronunclation
Of his claim lS45. In lS4S a revolt in his
favor in few Of the northern provinces
had but o abort duration. Tho struggle
was renewed on larger scale in 1856, but
with no better ultimate SUCCESS. In 1860
he and his brother Juan made another but
atill more ahortiys attempt at Tortoea,
ending in absolute failure. =
Don Juan married in 1877 tho Arch
duchees Maria Theresa oil Austria, Prin,
Gees Of Modena. The death Of Don CARLOS
in 1851, without issue, left Don Jaun tho
inheritor Of the traditional et1ifs for the
Spanigh crown that had been 80 long car.
ried on. Don Juan, however, appears to
have been less anxious to fight for the
crown than to make proclamatons to his
partisans. Of these heissued great many
from Trieste, which, although profuse in
promisea OF reform if no should be called
to rule over Spain, did not p1oduco any
marked OBJECT on the Spanish people.
Don Juan hastily availed hi mseif OF the
Spanish revolution Of 1868, which drove
Issbslla from the throne, to retire from
sll pretense Of claiming the throne. His
eldest Hon, Don Carlos-tho present Don
Csrles-Duke Of Madrid, was at this per.
iod twenty years old, and, being q true
scion OF the old Catholic stock, was ready
and anxious TO try once more what virtue
lay in the sword. Unde, these c!rcum.

rights In favor Of Don Carloa, and thai

i. is purely business matter. It is not

Officer and the Health Committee will
